THE STOcK-BREEDER.
Corn Fodder for STOCK.


President Patterson, of the State College
of Kentucky, in letter to Prof. NJ. 4.
Scovell, director Of the experiment station
Of that State, nsks that the true feeding
value be accurately determined of Ken
lucky corn fodder shocked in the full,
the stalks yet green, and corn fully ripened,
husked, Che fodder reshucked, and fed as
the necessities of the farmer may require.
To this Prof. scovell replies at length,
giving analyses from various sources, and
concludes that this fodder will do to feed
10 carry stock through the winter, but for
milch COWS and stock being fattened it
should be fed along with other food richer
in protein, as bran, corn, or cotton seed
menl.
IN estimating relatively as between corn
fodder and hny Prof. Scovell finds the
money value of corn fodder, when properly
fed, 10 be $6.33 per ton, as against good
timothy hay at $3.50 per ton, allowing
that all the hay is eaten by the stock. But
it must be remembered that in practice
only the leaf, the husk, and portion of
the top a1e eaten even by cattle. More
thnn half the weight of corn fodder is not
eaten, and hence in practice the edible
portions OF the stalk are as nutritious as
the best hay. The practical farmer finds
no better milk-producing food than the
leaves and husks of corn, in connection
with other food, for mich COWS; it is
equally good for other farm stock. In
fact, M acre of coInstalk fodder is esti-
mated to feed as far as ton of the best
hay as usually fed without cutting in 9
machine.-C Chicago Tribune.

"mess" is broken up the animals contract
colds and other diseases. If the bodies
and habits were like those of sheep, cattle,
and horses, they might suffer more from
cold, but not more from lack of shelter.
Besides, the bodies of other farm animals
have warmer coverings to retain the animal
heat and prevent rapid chilling.
Tho conditions which make it important
to shelter swine make it difficult to shelter
them properly. If the hogs shelter is as
warm as that of other animals he will get
overhented. Unless, therefore, he is
isolated, he needs no litter in his shelter.
Agnin, because of his large proportion of
fat, greater amount Of carbonic acid gas
and other offensive matter is thrown off
through his breath and other channels,
and, therefore, his shelters need better
ventilation. Besides this, swine spend
more time in their shelters than other
animals, hence are most injured if those
are dark, and yet tho hog shelter is the
last one to be lighted. To make it warm,
nlI mir and light are both shut out.
To remedy these evils s easy enough.
Glass costing but trifie-on the south
side will admit light. 1t is easy to make
the shelter not too warm. Ventilation is
secured by holes Just under the caves
where no rain or snow can enter.

cold and wet. If dry they will endure a
low temperature with little discomfort.
Hence the roof is the most important part
of tho shelter. 1t must be close, no matter
how open are the sides. Ii the hogs have
q good roof TO lie under on some steep
southern hillside they will get along very
well with that alone, providing ridge of
earth is thrown up along the upper side to
protect them from wind and surface water.
But of course they should have better
quarters.
My favorite hog shelter is thing of
cheapness rather than beauty. 1t is made
of logs or large poles, built up four feet
high, and notched to prevent rolling. The
cracks are chinked close up to height of
three feet-this is high enough to ward off
direct currents-nnd the cracks above this
are left open for ventilation. A good roof
of boards or straw is put on. The shelter
is built on southern slope, and door
WHY is cut in the south side. A shallow
ditch is cut around the upper side and the
dirt from it thrown against the log. This
is the best as well as the cheapest swine
shelter have ever seon.--JOhn VI. Stahb

THE HORTICULTURIST.

Cno lfthc attractions Of Earn, Life
Horticulturist is subordinate to agricul
ture i'll its widest definition, but occupies n
commanding position with reference to the
other divisions of agriculture from tho
greater delicacy of its operations, and its
intimate relation 10 the finer attributes of
tho homes of n people. The pioneer in n
new country usually carries on very little
Of horticulture, yet he lives far beneath his
possibilities on this very account. The
bonanza farmer cares nothing for hortl-
culture, and knows nothing of the delight
fnl pceticnl associations of farm life. The
charm of rural occupation lies in the field
of horticulture, and every farmhouse
should be surrounded by the accompani-
ments of IN advanced horticulture. 1t
may have been grand to have had heoric
men and women brave the privations and
dangers of pioneer life to secure highly
cultivated acres for their children, but it is
heatbenish for those children to live upon
these same farms without the highest en-
belishments and most delicate comforts
that mn advanced horticulture can afford.
The attractions of American farm life
lie almost wholly in the brendth and de-
lightful variety of American horticulture.
We cannot afford TO live upon farms without
absorbing and employing the horticultural
agencies that elevate farm life above the
level of drudgery into the realm of art, and
the sensible farmer will find that this
poetry OF farm life has in it something g
less ethereal than rhyme and rhythm. In
it lie many of the substantial accompani-
ments of rural life which give comfort to
the grosser man, while contributing to his
higher nature.
To tho professional man, whose enrly
education led him to imbibe some of the
methods of successful horticulture, there is
nothing in the way of occupation having
greater attractions, toward the close of an
nctive life, than rurnl home. with its
health giving occupations and contribu-
tions to the table, 10 which are added the
artistic embellishments that appeal SO di-
rec.ly to the hearts of men when connected
with kindly associations and thougl lful

FROM WASHINGTON.

"A Washington telegram says: There is no
likelihood of the president going into Dakota
during his trip west He has not been speci-
fically invited TO any particular locality. 1t
is not probable that he considers the invita-
ton Of Gov Church to visit the whole terri
tory as specific as it should have been. 1t is
not unlike the invitation of the mayor of
Mandan, who said, practically: "Grover, the
fradom of the territory is your'n. Now,
walk" The president is not able to visit To-
cali,ies according to his will and pleasure, be-
cause he is limited by time to certain places
and dates.

fourth cousin to the president Ira told

from two brothers who came from England,

land was named. The Connecticut brother
